As we mourn the loss of Matron Saint of Country Music, Dolly Parton, we also know that she would want the work we’re doing for women in country music to keep moving forward. So this week, it’s business as usual for Girl Crush Country, but with a little extra glitter in Dolly’s honor.

In This Week’s Issue

Featured Artist: Brett Landin is taking her own route to country music (starting with living in a place about as far-removed from Nashville as you can be), but the end result is the same.

Dolly’s legacy continues: while we could never have been prepared to lose Dolly, she was prepared to have her work continue long after she’s gone. We’ve got updates from her team.

The tea: one’s smashing records, one’s making her sitcom debut, and one’s a brand new mama

The drops: Not only is there a ton of new music from women in country this week, but there’s a ton specifically from our past (and upcoming) featured guests.

The merch: a special tribute to Dolly Parton to benefit the Imagination Library.
